Biography
Mahmoud Hamshari was born in Mandatory Palestine, United Kingdom. He became a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and became their representative in France. He married a French woman, Marie-Claude, and had a daughter, Amina. After the Munich Massacre of 1972, Israel's Mossad intelligence agency began Operation Wrath of God, their campaign of assassinations against people suspected of being Black September Organization members. Hamshari was one of the targeted people, as he was believed to be a member of Black September. A Mossad agent posing as an Italian journalist lured him to a meeting at a cafe while two explosives experts planted explosives under his table where his telephone was. The next day, after Marie-Claude took Amina to school, the same man called Hamshari. When Hamshari was asked who was speaking, he told him that he was Mahmoud Hamshari. The bomb was detonated, and Hamshari was mortally wounded. He told Parisian detectives what had happened, but he died soon after in the hospital.
